I'm confident AV will break up the Raymond/Schroeder due once Kesler is healthy.

Schroeder has been fine. One of the real bright spots of this short season (along with Hansen and Raymond). Sure, he's small, but he has NHL skill and most importantly NHL intelligence. If I'm Gillis, I sniff around and see if any good deals are to be had for a right side defenseman or a rugged winger, and of course try to move Luo. I'm not in favour or looking for pure rentals. Look how Pahlsson turned out last year, not to mention the many Nonis rental failures.

Other than that, I am content to go into the post season with what we have (provided we get healthy). Let's take the horses we have and see what they've got...

As far as a lineup is concerned, I would put Kassian with the Sedins when he is back healthy, and put Burrows with Schroeder. Spread the wealth a bit. Burrows with Schroeder is one combination that has not been tried yet.

Anyone who thinks GMMG is trading Schneider is an idiot. Plain and simple.

I was as attached to Luongo as anyone, but I prefer to cheer for the crest, not the surname. Cory is better and he's only getting better.

Not only does Lu want out, anyone who's studied goaltending over the years will recognize that Cory is way faster coming across and covers way more net than Luongo. For all his gaffes this season he has looked technically and reflexively sound in a way Luongo hasn't since 2007. If he lets in 8 goals in the biggest playoff game we've ever played I might change my tune -- until then it's Cory, Cory Cory.... for years, people. Deal.

Enjoy him. He is as good as it gets in the NHL and he's only getting better.

I could totally see Cory going beast mode in the playoffs a la Quick or Timmy or Brodeur... he just looks like he has that in him to me.

Sssssshhhhh, you are not doing a very good sales job on Lou. We don't want all the other GM's knowing this. Otherwise, we are screwed.
